I got the start against 16u YardSharks today. 5 innings clean in a 2-0 win. 19 faced, 64 pitches thrown. 41 strikes, 23 balls. 2 hits allowed, 1 BB, 1 HBP. .118 BAA, .600 WHP.
6 strikeouts, all swinging. I got 1st2out in 3 of 5, proud of that!
Bit by bit; not even 2 years yet!
as a pitcher, who is trained to follow the rules, and does not hop as a part of my pitching motion, I find this offensive. Change happens, but if all you’re trying to do is make the people who are cheating now, legal, shame on you.
Chuckle. Ever watch a hopper like Ball get called on it and forced to follow the rules? Watch opponent batting average against skyrocket:
“Committee members think whether the pivot foot stays on the ground or is airborn, there is no advantage gained by the pitcher.”
